LSI
would like to remember those who are no longer with us. Lab accidents
are regrettably too frequent. It is sad when we read reports of fatal
accidents that could have been avoided or prevented.

Accidents in the Laboratory are all too common and there has always been
a serious issue of under reporting. Perhaps the fear of punishment
could be one of the leading causes. However, here at the Laboratory
Safety Institute (LSI), we believe accidents are lessons we can learn
from.
